Warren County 9/11 & Emergency Services Memorial taking shape

WARREN — Construction of the Warren County 9/11 and Emergency Services Memorial is underway. The memorial will honor the hero’s who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and the Warren County Emergency Services Personnel who have been killed in the line of duty. Located at the Warren County Public Safety & Education Complex on Route 57 in Franklin Township the memorial is being shaped into the “Twin Towers” of the World Trade Center.

A piece of steel from the World Trade Center will be mounted in front of the towers with brick pavers leading up to it. Plans also call for a pedestal with a plaque to be installed at the entrance of the memorial to remember the other attacks that occurred that day. The Memorial is being constructed on the main road leading into the complex as a never-ending reminder of the Police, Fire and EMS personnel who gave their lives to protect and serve their community. The Memorial will also commemorate the lives lost of our Warren County Neighbors and the unprecedented loss of life of the people that perished on September 11, 2001.

The Memorial Plaza will provide visitors with the opportunity to become part of history and experience the time line of events that happened on that fateful day during an attack on our soil. Engraved Pavers are being offered at $50 for a 4x8, $250 for a 6x6 and $500 for a 12x12. A Memorial Builder Pin is available for each $25 donation. Sponsorships are available for Plaza Benches, Plaza Walls, Flag Poles, Trees of Life, and the Meadow surrounding the memorial. Donations are now being accepted through the mail.
